Neverwinter E3 Gameplay Trailer

I walked into my first appointment to see Neverwinter at PAX East in March with a groan. I walked out with a grin and a new game on my watch list. My opinion only improved after going hands-on with Neverwinter's Control Wizard at E3. It's free, it has tight action controls with very cool abilities, and it's D&D. See what that all adds up to in the new gameplay trailer.

A bit more background before you push play: action-oriented combat is becoming standard in MMORPGs, and Neverwinter's version is intuitive, with two abilities tied to the left and right mouse keys. As you fight and dodge foes pulled straight from the D&D Monster Manual, you'll build up action points. Earn enough action points and you'll unlock a powerful special ability perfect for unleashing on crowds and bosses. It's a clean system that works well and is gratifying and fun to play.
